***UPDATE***
The lighting has arrived! A couple real quick test shots and I will write a review later of the lighting in case anyone is interested in getting some.
Yes I know you can see the wrinkled backdrop....


Been talking about this for about 6 months now....Finally did it. Look what's coming to my house:

FAR OUT JASON .. !!
i'd be thinking santa is coming early but you have foregone that luxury .. !!
i reckon the incredible materialism that goes along with christmas is a joke ..
anyway .. congrats on your new toys ..
you'll have to take pics of your studio with them all set up when you get it ..

yeah, I cleared the space in the second story of my garage but it stopped there, i guess this will motivate me to get it framed and drywalled

OMG!!! THAT is SOO DARN COOL, JASON!!! Congratulations! Way to go! I've been picking up studio stuff here and there, but I don't have all the "stuff" -- and I have 4 studio portrait shoots next week, so I'm going to be thinking of you and how I wish I had all those bells and whistles! Can't wait to see your photos from your own studio. Yes. Show us your set up when you get it all set up, okay?

Awesome, Jason! You must have been a VERY good boy this year :-)

Well, it left Illinois this morning....One of the things I love about the internet (no, not porn Slippy) is that with the advent of online tracking it's almost as much fun tracking the package as it is to get it.

I will post some shots after it arrives...

I sent you a big wad of bubble wrap for you to pop on Christmas. I'll send you the tracking number to double your fun. :P

Yeah, that was crazy! I didn't know B&H sold products with an optional "SlippyKit"! I didn't hesitate to throw down the extra 99 cents for that!

bump for update

for any who might be looking, i have immediately found this Hensel set to be very easy to use. they package everything very securely and it comes in a rolling case to take with you on location. the lights themselves are built like tanks. The stands are easy to set up, though when extended to max height feel a little sketchy and wobbly. the instructions as far as set up and use are sparse, probably not a big deal for experienced users but i am not one of those. this particular rig has a built in slave in both units and the transmitter is nice in that you can increase/decrease the power of the flash units from the buttons on the top of it. all in all so far i would say i am very pleased with the value for the money.
